表面活性剂作为一类重要的功能性化合物, 在日用化工、生物医药及石油开采等领域应用广泛. 然而, 其传统研发依赖于试错实验的模式, 不仅难以满足新型表面活性剂在极端条件下的性能需求, 且缺乏对环境归宿和生物安全性的系统性评估. 机器学习作为一种数据驱动的研究范式, 为表面活性剂的高效开发提供了新途径, 尤其在分子性质预测方面展现出巨大潜力. 系统综述了机器学习在预测表面活性剂关键物性(如临界胶束浓度、表面张力、亲水亲油平衡值、吸附效率及克拉夫特点)中的研究进展. 此外, 探讨了该技术在预测其生物降解性与生态毒性等环境安全属性方面的初步应用与前景. 现有研究多集中于临界胶束浓度、表面张力与亲水亲油平衡值的预测, 而对吸附效率、克拉夫特点及环境安全参数的建模研究相对有限. 通过将预测范围拓展至这些尚未被充分研究的性质, 机器学习有望成为表面活性剂理性设计、性能优化与绿色评估的关键工具, 从而推动高性能、绿色环保表面活性剂的开发.

Surfactants, as a class of important functional compounds, are widely used in daily chemicals, biomedicine, petroleum extraction, and other fields. However, the traditional trial-and-error experimental approach not only struggles to meet the performance requirements of novel surfactants under extreme conditions but also lacks systematic evaluation of their environmental fate and biosafety. Machine learning, as a data-driven research paradigm, offers a novel approach for efficient surfactant development, demonstrating significant potential particularly in molecular property prediction. This article systematically reviews advances in machine learning for predicting key surfactant properties (e.g., critical micelle concentration, surface tension, hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, adsorption efficiency, and Krafft point). Furthermore, it examines preliminary applications and prospects of this technology in predicting environmental safety parameters such as biodegradability and ecotoxicity. Current research predominantly focuses on predicting critical micelle concentration, surface tension, and hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, whereas modeling studies on adsorption efficiency, Krafft point, and environmental safety parameters remain relatively limited. By extending predictive capabilities to these underexplored properties, machine learning is poised to become a pivotal tool for rational design, performance optimization, and green assessment of surfactants, thereby advancing the development of high-performance and environmentally friendly surfactants.
